Sometimes, as we hike through life, we should look down; if we don’t, we may miss the start of something beautiful. Right now, this is just an ant that got caught in some tree sap, but if this little wonder survives the elements and human destruction long enough to fossilize, it will become an ant, eternally captured in amber.
